Personal mobility device (EDP)

A personal mobility device (EDP) is a very small, individual means of transport without an electric motor. It can be equipped with or without handlebars or a seat.

The most common devices are:

  • skateboards;
  • scooters;
  • roller skates.

Devices intended for children with wheels and a maximum design speed of up to 6 km/h are also considered personal mobility devices if they have a small electric motor, such as:

  • hoverboard;
  • pushchairs.

Where can I ride with my EDP?

If you use a personal means of transport, you are considered a pedestrian.

The personal means of transport is therefore permitted:

  • on the pavement;
  • on other areas intended for pedestrians;
  • on paths marked with a traffic sign for roller skates.

What rules do I have to follow with my EDP?

When riding on the pavement, do not exceed walking speed (<3.6 km/h) so as not to obstruct others.

Pedestrians have absolute priority.

The following are prohibited:

  • the transport of persons;
  • the towing;
  • the towing of another vehicle.
